My first Body Glove Product. I can see why this company has been around for a long time and carriers the reputation it does. The vest is all that I could hope for. It fits well, and allows me to swim longer in tepid water. In fact I hardly notice it at all. The vest does not interfere with either my arm stroke or head motion during my (interpretation of the) freestyle.I do rinse the vest in fresh water after each session as I have learned years ago the relationship between chlorine and wetsuits. Wearing a bleached out piece of rubber no longer signifies "old pro" around the pool. At this price why not simply look sharp, feel warmer and swim longer.I am thinking of getting another as a back up..

I actually bought this vest for Obstacle Course Racing because there are various water obstacles involved in some of the bigger name races. This vest felt snug at first but after a few minutes I forgot I had it on. It was perfect on a crisp fall morning, it wasn't stifling hot when I ran in it, and made all the difference when I had to swim across frigid ponds or jump in ice water. It works as a compression garment, and holds up to barbed wire too! As a swimmers vest, it can't be beat for the price.
